Features: "The Peter Principle" is a revolutionary concept discovered by American scholar Laurence J. Peter after years of research in hierarchical organizations. The Peter Principle states that in a hierarchical organization, employees tend to be promoted to positions where they are incompetent, resulting in every position in the company eventually being occupied by incompetent employees. This book provides a prescription for those struggling in painful positions of incompetence, offers a shortcut for those stuck at the bottom of the hierarchy to achieve success, and provides methods for senior managers to identify and utilize talent effectively.
